Question

It costs $0.38 to produce and mail a newsletter. Each week, 475,000 newsletters are mailed to subscribers. About how much does it cost to produce and mail the newsletter each month?

Answer 1

Each newsletter costs 38 cents to produce

 

475,000 newsletters are produced in a week

 

475,000 * 0.38 = $180,500 (the cost to produce and mail the newsletter each week)

 

If we assume that 1 month = 4 weeks, then the cost to produce and mail the newsletter each month is

 

4 * 180,500 = $722,000

 

If you want to be a bit more precise, you can state that 1 month is approximately 4.3 weeks because:

 

There are 52 weeks in one year, and 12 months in one year, so there are

 

52/12 = 13/3 = 4.3333........ weeks in one month

 

 

Answer 2

    475000

       *0.38

------------

  3800000

14250000

------------

180500.00

We had two decimal places in the equation, so we need those two in the final answer.

It costs $180500 to mail to the subscribers.
